     - There should be OHCRA signs.

COST:      - Camping at Enon Beach is $22/night/site with 2 tents and 4 people per site. Thus, $5.50/person/night. This is in the primitive camping area along the river. The campground does have restrooms and showers, some distance from our camp site. They have a snack bar, swimming pool, small lake, etc.

SAT:      - 0900 shuttle. Since this is a different section of the Mad than we usually do there are a couple options for which section we do will. Depending on some further scouting and group consensus we will pick a section later. From review of Google Earth and a great Miami Conservancy District map for the Mad River there will be access points for trips varying from about 4 to 13 miles. There are no dams to portage on this section of the Mad. Pending the further scouting we may be paddling all the way to the first flood control dam in Dayton.

- Potluck dinner at 1800 (6:00 PM) (No theme - your choice. I expect to prepare fried potatoes w/onions green peppers & smoked sausage)

SUN:      - 0900 shuttle. Trip length and section of the river is to be determined
